Rome is Burning and All These Yutzs Can Do is Say Hezbollah is Smart and Nominate Fringe Embarrassments for Speaker; At least Biden is Doing His Job
Another week. More reasons for voters to vote for the candidates with a D by their name in the upcoming elections in 2023, 2024, and beyond.
In the week since Hamas attacked Israel, what does the four-time indicted, twice impeached, twice David Duke endorsed, and two-time popular vote loser Mad King-Chief Republican Yutz do?
He compliments Hezbollah, the terrorist enemy of Israel in Southern Lebanon, calling them "very smart" while mocking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Not just because he and his national security team missed the signs of the coming attack. It looks like they did along with perhaps their counterparts in the United States did as well.
He faulted Netanyahu for not combining Israeli assets with American ones in the targeted assassination of Iranian General Soleimani, another "very smart guy" according to the former White House occupant.
The main reason Mr. Trump is annoyed with Netanyahu and turning on him is because he recognized reality and congratulated Joe Biden on his win in the 2020 election.
The Mad King felt that for all the overtures his Administration did for Netanyahu like moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem and turning a blind eye to settlers terrorizing innocent Palestinians in the West Bank, "Bibi" as his friends called him should have returned the favor and enabled his false conspiracy theories about the election being rigged.
The Chief Executive Charlatan also blamed Biden for the Hamas attack from Gaza, saying this would not have happened if he was still in office and if the election was not rigged.
Yeah right.
While voters have to suffer Mr. Trump's lying remarks, they also have to endure the Republican House Conference whose continued failure to find a new Speaker that can receive the 217 votes necessary to hold the gavel is a lesson of what not to do.
Instead of looking for a mainstream governing candidate that may actually get Democrat votes to counter the MAGA ones that would not offer support, they nominate Steve Scalise first, a person who once said he was KKK leader "David Duke without the baggage" and is currently undergoing treatment for blood cancer.
That this person is currently the Republican Majority leader is a testament to how fringe the former Party of Lincoln has become.
Why did he not get to 217?
Because MAGA fanatics wanted the person who came in number two in the Speaker Race: Jim "What Sex Scandal Are You Covering Up" Jordan.
Two words: Dennis Hastert.
With Scalise out of the running, Jordan, knowing he is short over 50 votes, is working this weekend to shore up the votes needed to become the next Speaker.
If he pulls off this nightmare, the governing of this nation will take a giant step backward, and paralysis until 2025 may result.
With Rome burning and multiple crises like the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine along with passing a budget and addressing paramount issues like climate change, the Republicans should stop enabling these yutzs and select responsible leaders who can be reliable partners in governing.
Meanwhile...
President Biden is receiving praise for his leadership during this Middle East Crisis.
Check out the below clips from Brooks and Capehart on the October 13, 2023, PBS Newshour.
Read the below comments from the Washington Post Editorial Board.
"At a time when the United States, and the world, desperately need decency and moral clarity, President Biden has provided both. His words regarding the wanton atrocities Hamas has committed against hundreds of Israeli civilians, as well as many Americans and citizens of other countries, in the past week have been unequivocal. In remarks to a gathering of American Jewish leaders Wednesday, he described the mass murder as “sheer evil” and likened it to “the worst atrocities of ISIS.”
"In condemning the terrorism, and offering support to Israel’s military response, the president also reminded the new emergency war government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of its responsibilities under “the law of war.” These measured statements put the United States in just the right place: supportive of Israel but positioned, if need be, to influence and temper its response."
"In short, Mr. Biden has so far met the elementary test of political leadership amid crisis, as those who placed their trust in him at the ballot box three years ago hoped he could."
After watching Biden's speech supporting Israel and human rights and dignity for all, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said on MSNBC:
Biden is a “moral beacon. And I should tell you that it’s very encouraging to Israelis to hear now, hear just how President Biden, I happen to know him for more than 40 years. I’m a half-year older than him. And it was a great speech, a great speech, not just as a American leader, as a leader of the free world, not just on statesmanship and geopolitics, but on a more, as a moral beacon, once again, standing clear and on the right side of history, on the right side of humanity. And it’s great encouragement to Israelis and probably a very good signal to our neighbors."
Finally, please view the Lincoln Project ads like "Strong in a Crisis" which compliments Biden's leadership and shows Israeli officials like Barak praising his support for the lone Democracy in the Middle East.
The project also released an ad called "Clear Choice" that ably showcases the stark difference, in their reactions to the Hamas invasion, between President Biden and embarrassment Trump.
The choice is clear. Wake up American People and make the right choice in the next local, state, and national elections. We do not need the yutzs in charge when problems need to be solved.

The Insane and Repulsive Lying Words of Donald Trump...From Just the Last Month
One day after he is long gone, someone will accumulate all the quotes (the great bulk of them fabrications) from Donald Trump from the time he declared his candidacy for the Presidency in 2015 to the time he finally shuts up and put them in a volume that may rival Bartletts in sales.
Until then, readers have to settle for articles like this one which describe some of the insane and repulsive (some would say disgusting) comments the twice impeached, twice David Duke endorsed, two-time popular vote loser, four-time indicted, instigator of the January 6 Domestic Terrorist Attack at the Nation's Capital, and found liable for business fraud and sexual assault, 45th occupant from the Oval Office in just the last month.
Readers are welcome to use the comment section to include any remarks from the Mad King that were missed.
Comment One: Whales and Windmills.
Thank God for video. This comment might be the most insane where the Chief Executive Science and Climate Denier, in a speech to supporters in South Carolina, claimed that windmills are driving whales "crazy and a little batty," causing them to die and wash ashore.
Suffice it to say, the fact-checkers had a field day with this one.
Comment Two: Electric Vehicles
In a speech to woo autoworkers in Michigan where attendees pretending to be union auto employees were in attendance, the I am against Clean Energy Vehicles former occupant of the White House claimed that the transition to electric cars would decimate the auto industry in Michigan.
By the way, GM has apparently agreed to a United Autoworker demand that autoworkers at Electric Vehicle Production facilities would work under the terms of the National Labor Agreement.
Comment Three: The Judge's Clerk and His Business Fraud Trial
Mr. Trump, in an attempt to show his supporters he is being victimized and being diverted from the campaign trail because he has to attend his business fraud hearings (fact check: he does not need to be there,) received a gag order from the presiding judge in the case because of social media postings accusing one of the jurist's main clerks of being in a relationship with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.
According to reporting from CNN, the Judge defended his clerk, said the allegations were "untrue" and warned that "personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate, and I will not tolerate them."
The day before, Trump had called the jurist "a rouge judge" and "Trump hater" who listens to the clerk he disparaged, accusing her of "whispering in his (the judge's) ear every time we ask a question..."
Comment Four: The bloodline of immigrants.
In comments that would make David Duke and other white nationalists/racists proud, the xenophobic, repulsive, and disgusting Trump, partially echoing comments he made when he first declared his presidential candidacy, went after immigrants from the southern side of the border, stating:
"Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions, insane asylums. We know they're terrorists...It's poisoning the blood of our country...People are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing you can have..."
These remarks echo the anti-immigrant bigots who said the same things in the Nineteenth century about the Irish and Chinese and in the Twentieth Century about the Italians and Jews, some of whom were the great-grandparents of Trump's grandchildren from the marriage of his daughter, Ivanka, and Jared Kushner.
What a disgusting ass.
By the way, this is what it looks like when terrorists come into a country.
Does anyone see this happening on the border with Mexico? By the way, these Hamas Terrorists proved yesterday, that walls do not work in some cases.
Comment Five: Blaming Biden for the Hamas Invasion of Israel.
Instead of presenting a united front behind the nation's support for Israel after the unprovoked invasion by Hamas from Gaza yesterday (October 8, 2023,) Mr. Trump and some of the other Republican Presidential Contenders Stooges sought to score political points by blaming President Biden for the Invasion, falsely citing the recent deal with Iran where the United States unfroze six billion of Iranian funds held in South Korea in exchange for the return of American citizens held in the Islamic Republic.
As with most statements that come out of these people's mouths, it is a false claim.
That money, according to comments from the State Department, has not been transferred yet and even so, it is tied to specific expenses. Funding invasions of United States allies is not one of them.
Voters should not need reminding of how bad Donald Trump or most of his primary opponents would be at the helm of the country.
If they do, watch any of the videos in this article and ask how this person, the one responsible for the Domestic Terrorist Attack on the Nation's Capital on January 6, 2023, deserves to be restored to office.
In three words, he does not.

In Two New Ads, The Lincoln Project Exposes Trump as the Fraud He Is and Prophesizes What Will Happen if We Let Him Win Again
This is the season for campaign ads.
The Lincoln Project has released its latest ad attacking Donald Trump and the Myth, taken down by a recent court ruling making him liable for business fraud, that he was a successful entrepreneur.
Called "Broke," the ad narrator mocks Trump, calling him "broke, busted, a fraud, a con, a low rent rip off artist."
Get an idea of where this ad is going.
The ad then reminds viewers of the court ruling exposing the Twice Impeached and Four Time Indicted 45th Occupant of the Oval Office as a charlatan who inflated the value of his properties, committing bank and insurance fraud in the process.
The ad concludes with "Everything you ever built was built on a lie. You were never rich. Never successful. New York is laughing at you. Always has. Always will. And now, everyone knows it. Broke! Busted! The Loser in Chief!"
The Lincoln Project also released another eerie and chillingly thought-provoking ad called "Good Night in America" which, like the Sinclair Lewis book It Can't Happen Here, warns what could happen to the country if voters do not stay vigilant and vote Trump out again in 2024.
The ad has a distraught mother waking her little son to tell him Donald Trump has won the election. The Twilight Zone twist in this ad is when the boy says to his mother "I thought you can only be President two times." The mother replies "Not Anymore" as you hear the Trumpists in the background, like Fascists and Nazis in their day, saying "Four more years."
The ad concludes with the caption:
"STOP HIM OR IT WILL NEVER STOP. VOTE HIM OUT."
Truer words were never said.

House Democrats Rescue the Country Again from Fiscal Disaster
Photo from NBC News.
We have seen this movie earlier this year.
When MAGA Enabling Speaker Kevin McCarthy could not get the rule to proceed to a vote on increasing the National Debt Limit with only Republican votes, House Democrats led by, let us call him Speaker when the Pressure is On, Hakeem Jeffries delivered the key votes to get the measure passed.
Democrats also delivered most of the votes on the measure to raise the debt limit.
Fast forward to today, September 30, 2023, Mr. McCarthy, publicly at wit's end with his MAGA-Trump-Putin loving wing, put forth a 45 Day Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government open without the eight to thirty percent across-the-board cuts in discretionary spending the bulk of his conference (which welched on the spending limits agreed to in the debt ceiling deal) wanted and failed to pass on a party-line vote.
While this measure included vital disaster relief funding for states ravaged by flooding, hurricanes, and tornadoes, the legislation, in a bid to appease the Putin Wing of the Republican Party, did drop the aid to Ukraine.
After about an hour of Democratic Leader Jeffries speaking on the House Floor to give members of his conference time to read the legislation, the 45-Day CR passed after a 335 to 91 vote...
...with mostly Democratic votes. 209 Democrats approved the measure. Only 126 Republicans followed their example. 90 Republicans voted against this.
MAGA Twerp Matt Gaetz has threatened to call for a motion to have McCarthy vacate the Speaker's chair.
Speaker, when the Pressure is On, Jeffries will probably be there to the rescue again if that occurs and when the time comes to vote on the next measures (temporary or permanent) to fund the United States Government because the Speaker (in name only apparently) can not do it without him.
Like Stalin, Trump and Hegseth Possibly Opening the Door for America's Enemies
One of the reasons Hitler's Generals were initially successful in launching Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Unio...
